Happy Birthday, Stella!

This week, in place of the small dog meetup, Animal Haven hosted a birthday party for Oscar’s friend Stella.  Here’s Stella in her party hat…what a cutie!

We met Stella through her owner Katrina who is a trainer for Andrea Arden dog training.  After taking Puppy Kindergarten, we took a few private lessons with Katrina to jump start us on our trick training - she taught us all of the basics and even got Oscar to crawl and do a few other tricks in the first lesson! 

Lucky little Stella even got a birthday cake!  Her cake and special dog cookies were made by Ada Nieves- the cake was chicken flavoried and Oscar loved it!  Unfortunately, we weren’t quick enough to get a picture before the beasties devoured it, but you can see a bunch of fun doggy cakes and treats on Ada’s website.

We also got a goody bag with some really fun stuff, including Chocolick Mints, Chompions (Bacon & Egg Flavor), a City Pet Guide, City Tails Magazine, Herban Essentials towelettes, a book and a fun football chew toy.

Next, we got to try out a free sample of Telligton Touch by Mindful Tails.  Oscar isn’t sure if he’s a fan or not yet, the jury’s still out - I think it would have been hard to convince him that anythingcould be better than running around like a crazy man with the dogs at the meetup, but we did get one nice calm picture of him waiting his turn to try TTouch…

Has anyone had any experience with Tellington Touch that they can share with us?  We’d love to hear what you think.

Finally, we just had to share this picture of a really cute dog from the meetup - yes, he’s sporting sneakers!!

Best of all, the proceeds of this meetup went to support the shelter!
